Standard Uji Gyokuro
Gyokuro (Japanese: 玉露) is the pinnacle of Japanese green teas. The Uji Gyokuro standard is the pinnacle of Japanese green teas, originating from the prestigious Uji region. This highly regarded tea is known for its rich, full-bodied flavour and pleasant umami.
Gyokuro is harvested from the finest leaves, which are protected from the sun before harvesting, which increases the chlorophyll content and therefore reduces bitterness. As a result, this tea has a distinctive umami profile, accompanied by sweetness and subtle hints of seaweed.
Standard Uji Gyokuro is ideal for green tea lovers looking for a sophisticated and rich taste experience.
